Annual charity festival Macmillan Fest have just announced their first headliner in the form of prog rock/metal four piece, Black Peaks. With the Brighton boys reportedly having finished working on their sophomore album, the follow-up to 2016’s critically acclaimed ‘Statues’, you can bet that their set will definitely be composed of plenty of brand new tracks that we’re yet to feast our ears upon.

Tomorrow, the 2017 edition of the annual Macmillan Fest in Nottingham will kick off, this year seeing headline slots from several bands, including The Treatment, Hacktivist, Room 94, and Holding Absence, to name just a handful. Across the day of music there’ll also be sets from the likes of Skarlett Riot, Napoleon, As December Falls, Catch Fire, and Our Hollow, Our Home, to name just a few.

With confirmed appearances at Macmillan Fest and Deadbolt Festival impending, Lincoln based tech metal outfit Borders have sandwiched a handful of headline dates of their own inbetween to keep them busy throughout September.

Returning for another year to provide a great day filled with rock, punk and metal bands whilst also supporting a great cause, the first batch of acts have now been named for this year’s Macmillan Fest, which will be hosted across a handful of venues in Nottingham this September.

After being on the scene for around three years, Nottingham based pop-rockers Adelphia have regrettably announced that they have decided to part ways and call it a day, citing this decision down to “creative differences”. The band will, however, go ahead and perform all of their forthcoming shows that have already been scheduled and confirmed, performing their last gig together as a band at this year’s Macmillan Festival.

Having run for the previous five years, Macmillan Fest 2014 is set to be one of the best yet. Spread across five stages, the festival showcases some of the finest local talent Nottingham has to offer, as well as offering sets from bigger bands like Bleed From Within, The Safety Fire, Violet and Lock & Key. Previous headliners have included Ingested and Exit Ten, so how would Bleed From Within and The Hype Theory fare?

Providing great music along with supporting a great cause, this year’s Macmillan Fest have confirmed the first wave of acts which will compose this year’s line-up, which includes Bleed From Within, The Hype Theory, Violet and more. You can view the full line-up as it stands for the festival below:
